Timelapse sequences shot in London’s Hyde Park & Kensington Gardens. It’s the second outing with my motorised rail, still a few teething problems, but certainly an improvement on the first outing where I discarded about half of the shot footage during the editing process.

Featuring the Serpentine, Henry Moore’s Arch and the Italian Garden.

The Arch is a six-metre high Roman travertine sculpture positioned on the north bank of the Long Water. It was presented by the artist Henry Moore to the nation for sitting in Kensington Gardens in 1980 – two years after his eightieth-birthday exhibition at the Serpentine Gallery, London. The Arch is made from seven travertine stones weighing a total of 37 tonnes. The stones were sourced from a quarry in northern Italy.

The Italian Gardens is a 150-year-old ornamental water garden located on the north side of Kensington Gardens near Lancaster Gate. It is believed to have been created as a gift from Prince Albert to his beloved Queen Victoria.
